Agree with you on all points except wing clipping. It's literally just trimming the flight feathers, much like a haircut. They grow back, and it prevents the bird from flying somewhere dangerous or getting lost outside.
I hear ya but I still don't like it. As much as I love birds I would never own one. You can take a bird out of the sky...but should you? Confining a creature of the air to a house and a cage is very sad. Too many of these poor birds go crazy and I would too. They just don't belong in captivity. The same could be said for a lot of pets, but birds especially. Most pet birds are so far away from home too. If they havent migrated here then they shouldn't be here. I dunno man, i just don't agree with altering animals for the sake of their humans.
Is declawing cats cruel?
